A removable video module for a backlit liquid crystal display (LCD) contained within a chassis and having a timing and control board (TCON) with a board edge connector and an access opening in the chassis. The module preferably having a video input connection and means for generating a Low Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS) video. The video module also preferably has a board edge connector adapted to connect with the board edge connector on the TCON, where the video module is adapted to fit through the access opening to connect with the TCON. Other embodiments may utilize a backplane where the video module and a power module are adapted to connect with the backplane and electrically communicate with the rest of the display. Outputs for either the video signal, power supply, or both may be provided so that a plurality of displays may be daisy-chained together.

A video display device is provided that naturally displays a video without blocking an observer's field of view, and includes the following: a display optical system that displays a video; an ocular optical system that guides video light emitted from the display optical system to the optical pupil of an observer; and a support that supports the ocular optical system upon the light path of video light emitted from the display optical system. The support includes a first support plate and a second support plate that face each other, and the ocular optical system is located between the first support plate and the second support plate. An opening through which the observer's line of sight passes is formed at least partially between the first support plate and the second support plate.

A digital display system includes a transparent outer protective panel, a transparent inner protective panel, and a translucent digital video display located between the outer and inner protective panels. An integrated media player is operably connected to the translucent digital video display so that full-motion videos displayed on the translucent digital video display are viewed through the outer protective panel and items can be viewed through the translucent digital video display. The digital display system can be incorporated into any environment where a product is located behind a glass enclosure such as freezers, coolers, security glass, jewelry cases, liquor cases, cosmetic cases, and the like. In retail environments, the digital display systems can also be incorporated into entry doors, windows, drive-thru windows, teller windows, and any other location where there is traditionally glass and you want to focus consumer attention obstructing the customer's line of site.

A modular portable device system and method improves the quality of the interface between a core device and an add-on module via an interconnection system specifically applicable to modular systems. A multi-pin connector array accessible from outside the base device is configured and located to electrically connect to a mating array on the add-on module when the two devices are docked. The application processor of the base device uses different pins or pin sets of the interface to provide mutually exclusive data channels having distinct data rates for transmission of various types of data with less waste. In an embodiment, a control pin is used by the devices to signal a channel and associated data type to be transmitted.

Provided is a photosensor device that even when the width and thickness of a bezel are reduced, can cause a sensor unit to smoothly exit and enter the bezel. Using drive means, a photosensor device causes a sensor unit to perform multiple rotation operations. Thus, the sensor unit is allowed to approach a display screen of an image display panel for a measurement and to be stored in a bezel after the measurement.

A display module of the present invention is provided, which includes a supporting frame and a display panel. The supporting frame has a sidewall and a bank, wherein the bank protrudes from an outer side of a supporting surface of the sidewall toward a direction away from the supporting surface. Slits are formed at two sides of the bank by down-cutting, and a hole is formed on the sidewall below the bank. The display panel is disposed on the supporting frame; a bottom surface of the display panel is supported by the supporting surface, and the bank faces an end surface of the display panel.
